3dec9fcdd56adf1b4a563137b4915c8f2d83b881qs gets keys with the given label from a crypto hardware and builds
3dec9fcdd56adf1b4a563137b4915c8f2d83b881qs key files for DNSSEC (Secure DNS), as defined in RFC 2535
3dec9fcdd56adf1b4a563137b4915c8f2d83b881qs and RFC 4034.

3dec9fcdd56adf1b4a563137b4915c8f2d83b881qs Selects the cryptographic algorithm. The value of
3dec9fcdd56adf1b4a563137b4915c8f2d83b881qs <code class="option">algorithm</code> must be one of RSAMD5, RSASHA1,
3dec9fcdd56adf1b4a563137b4915c8f2d83b881qs DSA, NSEC3RSASHA1, NSEC3DSA, RSASHA256 or RSASHA512.
3dec9fcdd56adf1b4a563137b4915c8f2d83b881qs These values are case insensitive.

3dec9fcdd56adf1b4a563137b4915c8f2d83b881qs<p>
3dec9fcdd56adf1b4a563137b4915c8f2d83b881qs If no algorithm is specified, then RSASHA1 will be used by
3dec9fcdd56adf1b4a563137b4915c8f2d83b881qs default, unless the <code class="option">-3</code> option is specified,
3dec9fcdd56adf1b4a563137b4915c8f2d83b881qs in which case NSEC3RSASHA1 will be used instead. (If
3dec9fcdd56adf1b4a563137b4915c8f2d83b881qs <code class="option">-3</code> is used and an algorithm is specified,
3dec9fcdd56adf1b4a563137b4915c8f2d83b881qs that algorithm will be checked for compatibility with NSEC3.)

3dec9fcdd56adf1b4a563137b4915c8f2d83b881qs Note 1: that for DNSSEC, RSASHA1 is a mandatory to implement
3dec9fcdd56adf1b4a563137b4915c8f2d83b881qs algorithm, and DSA is recommended.

3dec9fcdd56adf1b4a563137b4915c8f2d83b881qs Sets the protocol value for the key. The protocol
3dec9fcdd56adf1b4a563137b4915c8f2d83b881qs is a number between 0 and 255. The default is 3 (DNSSEC).

3dec9fcdd56adf1b4a563137b4915c8f2d83b881qs RFC 2535 and its successors.

3dec9fcdd56adf1b4a563137b4915c8f2d83b881qs one of AUTHCONF, NOAUTHCONF, NOAUTH, or NOCONF. The default
3dec9fcdd56adf1b4a563137b4915c8f2d83b881qs is AUTHCONF. AUTH refers to the ability to authenticate
3dec9fcdd56adf1b4a563137b4915c8f2d83b881qs data, and CONF the ability to encrypt data.

<a name="id2612613"></a><h2>TIMING OPTIONS</h2>
<p>
Dates can be expressed in the format YYYYMMDD or YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.
If the argument begins with a '+' or '-', it is interpreted as
an offset from the present time. For convenience, if such an offset
is followed by one of the suffixes 'y', 'mo', 'w', 'd', 'h', or 'mi',
then the offset is computed in years (defined as 365 24-hour days,
ignoring leap years), months (defined as 30 24-hour days), weeks,
days, hours, or minutes, respectively. Without a suffix, the offset
is computed in seconds.
</p>
<div class="variablelist"><dl>
<dt><span class="term">-P <em class="replaceable"><code>date/offset</code></em></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Sets the date on which a key is to be published to the zone.
After that date, the key will be included in the zone but will
not be used to sign it. If not set, and if the -G option has
not been used, the default is "now".
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-A <em class="replaceable"><code>date/offset</code></em></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Sets the date on which the key is to be activated. After that
date, the key will be included in the zone and used to sign
it. If not set, and if the -G option has not been used, the
default is "now".
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-R <em class="replaceable"><code>date/offset</code></em></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Sets the date on which the key is to be revoked. After that
date, the key will be flagged as revoked. It will be included
in the zone and will be used to sign it.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-U <em class="replaceable"><code>date/offset</code></em></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Sets the date on which the key is to be retired. After that
date, the key will still be included in the zone, but it
will not be used to sign it.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-D <em class="replaceable"><code>date/offset</code></em></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Sets the date on which the key is to be deleted. After that
date, the key will no longer be included in the zone. (It
may remain in the key repository, however.)

<a name="id2614622"></a><h2>GENERATED KEY FILES</h2>
<p>
When <span><strong class="command">dnssec-keyfromlabel</strong></span> completes
successfully,
it prints a string of the form <code class="filename">Knnnn.+aaa+iiiii</code>
to the standard output. This is an identification string for
the key files it has generated.
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc">
<li><p><code class="filename">nnnn</code> is the key name.
</p></li>
<li><p><code class="filename">aaa</code> is the numeric representation
of the algorithm.
</p></li>
<li><p><code class="filename">iiiii</code> is the key identifier (or
footprint).
</p></li>
</ul></div>
<p><span><strong class="command">dnssec-keyfromlabel</strong></span>
creates two files, with names based
on the printed string. <code class="filename">Knnnn.+aaa+iiiii.key</code>
contains the public key, and
<code class="filename">Knnnn.+aaa+iiiii.private</code> contains the
private key.
</p>
<p>
The <code class="filename">.key</code> file contains a DNS KEY record
that
can be inserted into a zone file (directly or with a $INCLUDE
statement).
</p>
<p>
The <code class="filename">.private</code> file contains
algorithm-specific
fields. For obvious security reasons, this file does not have
general read permission.
